With the recent nerf hit to engineer, I can’t help but feel like now would be a good time to mention what I’ve personally seen as an oversight regarding how pull skills work for different classes, specifically on certain maps.

To my knowledge only three classes have a pull ability* and after testing with all three I’ve noticed only the engineer can pull an enemy player off a ledge, or in the case of the beloved map skyhammer only engineers can utilize a pull skill to lead a unassuming player to a quick death via pulling them onto the glass windows whereas a necromancer or a thief will leave the enemy sitting on the very edge.

I and others I’ve spoken with regarding the issue see this as a massive imbalance and feel that a game mechanic shouldn’t specifically cater to one class over the others.

Perhaps we could have pulls changed on all classes to act the same? be it that they all pull the whole length such as the current engi, or change the engineer pull to fall short as the other two?

*While I do only know of and have tested with three classes if I am mistaken and there are more, please forgive me

You are mistaken. You can do it with all 3 classes. You can also do it with a guardian GS pull, or a Mesmer curtain pull.

I have personally done it with Engi, Guard, Thief, Necro and had it done to me by all the above classes as well.

Now granted, every time I did it, I was standing on the edge (hole in front of me), so there is no possible way for them to be on the edge as well….

They all work the same. What you describe is a bug happening frequently with pulls. I get it on my thief, but also on my engineer, so that’s not related to this skill.

This, the necro and thief pulls are really unreliable.

Necros don’t have reflects, invulns, vigor, blocks,
extra dodges, real stability, mobility skills,
burst skills, sustain, or good support. GG ANET.
